CFileDialog i want select only directories

[tiziacaia]

It's possible set a file dialog (CFileDialog) to let select to user only directories? I want to do this to choose the work directory of my software. Somebody can help me? Thanks a lot

Or here's a function that i use to return the folder name in a CString:

CString GetFolder()
{
                                               LPMALLOC pMalloc,pMalloc2;
                                                CString strDirectory;
			BROWSEINFO bi;
			CString strPath1,strPath2;
			/* Gets the Shell's default allocator */
			char pszBuffer[MAX_PATH];
			LPITEMIDLIST pidl;
			// Get help on BROWSEINFO struct - it's got all the bit settings.
			bi.hwndOwner = GetDesktopWindow();
			bi.pidlRoot = NULL;
			bi.pszDisplayName = pszBuffer;
			bi.lpszTitle = _T("Select First Directory");
			bi.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS | BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS | BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE;
			bi.lpfn = NULL;
			bi.lParam = 0;

			
			if (::SHGetMalloc(&pMalloc) == NOERROR)
			{
				if ((pidl = ::SHBrowseForFolder(&bi)) != NULL)
				{
					if (::SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, pszBuffer))
					{ 
						strDirectory = pszBuffer;
					}
					pMalloc->Free(pidl);
				}
				pMalloc->Release();
			}
                                                return strDirectory;
}

If I write code in my sleep, does that make me brilliant, or just a lazy programmer? My articles www.stillwaterexpress.com BlackDice - the programmer formerly known as bdiamond
